Buondì. A rare Sunday post, as our 2019 January Sale ends tonight and I thought you might like to know what other club members have been spending their ‘learn Italian’ budgets on. Also because, every time I run a sale (which is four times a year – now, at Easter, in June or July, and […]

Before today’s article, here’s a message from our sponsor, as they used to say on TV… +++ Don’t forget the January Sale, which ends on Sunday night! Until then, everything at the ‘club shop’, EasyReaders.org, is 20% off with coupon code january_sale_2019_save_20% Use it here: Catalog | Italian | Shop +++ So, how to measure your […]

I’ve been using the additional time I’ve had since the school shut down for the Christmas/New Year break to, um, go to the supermarket a lot, cook two meals a day for my family, and wash masses of dishes! Plus, I admit, I’ve drunk quite a lot of beer. And nibbled a lot of nuts. It is, […]

Tomorrow is Capodanno, which makes this evening ‘la Vigilia di Capodanno’, or New Year’s Eve. Here’s wishing you a good one. We’re having a combo-Swedish/Italian meal this evening. The Italian part will be the traditional lentils, mashed potatoes and zampone. While the Swedish component (the antipasto/starter, first course, call it what you wish) will be […]

Buondì. And how nice that it’s a normal Friday! The shops are open, the sun is shining, the kids are slumped in front of the TV in their pyjamas – everything is well with the world. Except, it’s NOT a normal Friday… Because today we have the start of the 2019 January Sale! Which means […]

Buondì. Two things today: 1.) What to do to avoid the ‘January Sale’ This Friday (28th December) we’lll be beginning our ‘January Sale’ on online lessons, ebooks and so on. The club has a team of freelance Italian teachers who need work. Plus, revenues from ebook sales pay our hosting bills, and for new materials […]

Buondì. I’m writing this from Rimini, where the tribes are gathering for this evening’s Swedish-style Christmas Eve dinner. Followed, much too soon afterwards, by the rather-more-lavish Italian version at lunchtime on Christmas Day. Guess which goes on longer… I hope you’ll be doing something gastronomically-ambitious, too? I’ll be back again on mercoledì, which Italians call […]

One of the good things about being a teacher is the school holidays. OK, so there’s the Italian school 2019 ‘Save 20%’ promotion to finish off, which means working right up until midnight on Christmas day. And then, just a few days later, we’ll be having the OnlineItalianClub.com January sale, which is a busy time. […]

Buondì. I’m busy, busy, busy, this week. Sono molto occupato! It’s the Italian school annual ‘Save 20%’ offer, which means I’m writing articles each and every day. Yesterday, for example, was ‘Why Learn Italian?‘ And today ‘Why Study Italian in Bologna?‘, which contains a subtle hint. You might want to take a look. So that’s […]

Buondì. Though this last week before the Christmas break is normally when everything is winding down, for us at the school it’s always a bit crazy. Why? Because we’re busy with the annual “Save 20% on Italian Courses in Bologna” promotion. Which means emails every day, right up to the evening of Christmas Day. I’ll […]
